Is it as cut and dried? I hadn't seen much to make it seem that they were more than under prepared due to the optics of it being a presidential event... Not saying for a minute it wasn't negligent, but outright treasonous enabling has yet to be confirmed no?

The chief of the Capitol Police is a Trump appointee, who is reported to have turned down requests for more officers to be on duty.
Sedition covers conspiracies, so if he did this that counts as a crime.

I guess that's why I'm asking for more info. The timing of requests and decisions will be key, but we know there were multiple requests for the National Guard to be deployed as the police were being overrun, but the actual decision to deploy came very late in the proceedings.

Any more info on the Trump appointees at the Pentagon who denied/delayed sending in the National Guard? Surely that's as close to treason as you are going to get?
